The term '''class council''' is derived from the classroom assembly ("Réunion coopérative", "Conseil") of [[wikipedia:Célestin Freinet|Freinet]] pedagogy.<ref>[http://www.freinet.org/icem/history.htm History of Freinet Pedagogy]</ref>
Freinet did organize the class like an (agricultural) cooperative society.
Much like the farmers organize cultivation and marketing of their products together in a cooperative the pupils plan and organize learning themselves.
The class council is an agency of self-determination in which all pupils participate with equal rights.

An alternative model of the class council is based on work of [[wikipedia:Rudolf Dreikurs|Rudolf Dreikurs]], a pupil of [[wikipedia:Alfred Adler|Alfred Adler]].
Dreikurs developed the class council based on [[wikipedia:individual psychology|individual psychology]] and without reference to Freinet pedagogy as an instrument of problem solving and mediation but not as an agency of self-determination.
